Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires that the attacker be authenticated with high-privilege (administrator-level) Drupal credentials, as indicated by PR:H in the CVSS vector. Additionally, AC:H indicates specific, non-default conditions must align - likely a particular configuration state of the Gammu SMS Daemon module, such as an active daemon connection or specific SMS routing configuration. The Gammu SMS Daemon module must be installed and enabled on the Drupal site. What limits exploitation: the high privilege requirement means a successful attacker must first compromise an admin account; the high complexity requirement means reliable triggering is not straightforward; and the module's niche deployment means the overall exposed population is small.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 score of 5.9 (AV:N/AC:H/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N) reflects a meaningful tension: the impact metrics are severe (C:H/I:H), but the access bar is very high - an attacker must already hold high-privilege credentials and navigate elevated attack complexity. In practice, even a mid-sized municipal IT team in zabrze running an SMS-integrated Drupal deployment should assess this against their specific privilege model, since the vulnerability is chiefly dangerous in scenarios where an authenticated admin account is already compromised or an insider threat exists. No EPSS data was provided to quantify probability of exploitation, and the vulnerability is absent from the CISA KEV catalog, suggesting no confirmed active exploitation. The A:N metric is notable for a buffer overflow - this implies the flaw is more likely a controlled out-of-bounds read or write yielding data disclosure and potential integrity compromise rather than a crash, which somewhat constrains weaponization but does not eliminate it. No public exploit code has been identified, and the niche deployment footprint of an SMS-daemon Drupal module substantially limits the pool of at-risk systems.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker who has obtained Drupal administrative credentials - through credential stuffing, phishing, or a separate vulnerability - navigates to the Gammu SMS Daemon configuration or message-handling interface and submits a crafted payload that exceeds buffer boundaries. Under the high-complexity conditions required, this triggers a CWE-119 memory corruption event that could allow reading or overwriting adjacent memory, potentially exposing sensitive data or achieving arbitrary writes within the daemon's memory space. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 02, 2026

Buffer overflow in the Drupal Gammu SMS Daemon contributed module exposes sites to memory corruption with high confidentiality and integrity impact. The vulnerability (CWE-119) requires network-reachable access by a highly privileged user under specific conditions, limiting its practical reach but making it serious when those conditions are met. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis, and the Drupal security team has issued advisory SA-contrib-2026-100.

RemediationAI

Consult the Drupal security advisory SA-contrib-2026-100 at https://www.drupal.org/sa-contrib-2026-100 for the official patch or updated module release. No specific fixed version number is present in the available data, so patch status cannot be independently verified beyond the existence of the advisory - site administrators should check drupal.org for the latest module release and apply it promptly. As a compensating control pending patching, restrict administrative access to the Gammu SMS Daemon module to the minimum number of trusted accounts, and ensure that Drupal administrative roles are protected by multi-factor authentication to raise the privilege bar further. Sites that do not actively use SMS daemon functionality should consider disabling or uninstalling the module entirely to eliminate the attack surface without functional trade-off.

Technical ContextAI · show details

Gammu SMS Daemon is a Drupal contributed module that integrates the Gammu open-source SMS/phone communication library with the Drupal CMS, enabling SMS dispatch and reception from within Drupal. CWE-119 (Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer) covers cases where a program writes or reads beyond buffer boundaries, potentially overwriting adjacent memory. In a daemon context, this can manifest when processing incoming SMS message data or configuration parameters without adequate bounds checking. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:drupal:gammu_sms_daemon:*:*:*:* covers all versions of the module as published on drupal.org, and the Drupal security team (vendor reporter) issued advisory SA-contrib-2026-100 under their contributed-module security process.

Attack Technique

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
